2

Set Goals

Create goals for yourself. Set a goal number of dresses you hope to collect. Create a time-line for yourself, so you can keep to a schedule and finish on time.

3

Pick a date and place

Choose a date that fits your schedule, and that doesn’t have another town event on that day, so lots of people can bring their dresses to donate!

Pick an accessible location, so lots of people can come.

Check the building requirements- Have the space and time approved if you need to!

4

Advertise your event!

Make colorful flyers and posters to hang up that will catch people’s attention.

Make as many announcements/news releases as possible. Have your announcement read over an intercom at schools if possible. Send news releases to newspapers and local channels.

5

Prepare for the day of the event

Find a box big enough to hold all of the dresses! (and so you can transport them afterwards!)

Empty refrigerator boxes work well for this!

Hang a poster right near where you’re holding the event, letting people know where you are.

6

Hold the event!

Collect those dresses!

7

Deliver dresses to the organization

Bring your collected dresses to the organization headquarters, so they can donate your dresses to girls who need them!!
